Patent GB-190708948-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Motor Controlling Devices
Filed: 1907-04-17
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 8948. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. April 18, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motor control systems; switches.-The resistance switch of an electric motor is driven by an auxiliary motor, and a main switch is provided which, when closed, makes connexion for the forward running, and, when opened, for the backward running of the auxiliary motor. This arrangement prevents the main motor from being connected to the line with the starting-resistance cut out. The rotor of the motor 10 is connected to a rheostat A, the arm 1 of which is driven by the auxiliary motor 2 through worm gearing B. The switch 4 closes the stator circuit when the electro-magnet 5 is energized, and the circuit of the motor 2 is completed across the contacts 6. The motor 2 then rotates and moves the arm 1 to cut out resistance. The movement of the arm 1 permits the spring C to open the switch 8, when the electro-magnet 5 is kept energized by a current flowing across the contacts 7 instead of through the switch 8. If the line current fails, the switch 4 opens, and the auxiliary motor 2 retains the arm 1 in the 'on' position. When the current flows again, the motor 2 runs backwards, returns the arm 1, and closes the switch 8. This energizes the electro-magnet 5 and closes the main switch 4.

Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 10,423. Young, A. E., and Kerr, E. G. May 4. Tickets, issuing; ticket clips and punches.-In a machine for perforating and issuing checks or tickets, which may also be provided with a punch, the lower portion a, Fig. 4, of the casing contains the roll of tickets b and is formed with a curved extension piece d ; the upper portion c of the casing is hinged to the part a, to which it is adapted to be held by a spring tooth, and contains the perforating, ejecting, and punching mechanism. A pivoted thumb-lever o controlled by a spring on each check of the casing has a finger n engaging in a slot m of the toothed plate k shown in detail in Fig. 6. The latter is adapted to slide in the guide-slot j of the pivoted arm h, Fig. 8, and is provided with a slot w loosely fitting over a curved plate u, which divides the correspondingly curved joint face of the hinged portion c. A curved guide-plate s, Fig. 9, fitted within the portion c, has notches t of sufficient depth to clear the projecting lug r of the toothed plate k. The free end of the roll of tickets b passes between the spring plate g and the curved plate u which engages when the casing is closed against the face of the spring plate. On depression of the thumb-lever o, the finger n moves the plate k outwards along the slot in the pivoted arm, causing the lug r to pass through the lower notch t in the curved guide plate and thereby perforating the ticket strip by means of the teeth l. The further downward motion of the thumb-lever causes the finger-piece n to engage with and rotate the pivoted arm h, the ticket strip being thus fed onwards by the toothed plate which moves with the arm and remains in engagement with the strip. On the return motion of the thumb-lever the toothed plate k is first withdrawn by the finger n from contact with the ticket strip, the lug r passing inwards through the upper notch t in the plate s, and, on the motion being continued, the arm h and the plate k are carried round to their original positions, the lug r returning along the inside face of the guide-plate s. A punching arrangement x, y may be provided.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Corking Bottles.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1908-11-05
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 23,697. Bloxam, A. G., [Piso Co.]. Nov. 5. Corking.-The bottles 8 are arranged in rows on a tray 7 which is moved forward intermittently by a ratchet 10 operated from the main shaft 22. The corks are contained in two rows of tubes 72 and are transferred automatically to a row of conical compressors 68, Figs. 1 and 4, through which they are driven into the row of bottles below by plungers 30, operated by cams on the shaft 22. When the last row of bottles has been corked, a projection on the tray 7 actuates levers 80, 86, 88 and withdraws a clutch 78, so stopping the machine. Figs. 3 and 4 show the cork-transferring mechanism on an enlarged scale. A plate 34, which is reciprocated in a frame 32, is fitted with two fixed bars 36, 38 and two bars 37, 39 which slide on rods 43 and are urged apart by springs 42. These four bars are notched as shown to receive the corks. The Figures show the plate 34 at the left-hand extremity of its movement, in which position the bar 37 is forced away from the bar 36 by two rods 46 and a row of corks from the lefthand set of tubes 72 at once falls into the spaces s. A guard-plate 34<a> prevents the corks from falling through the spaces s. When the plate 34 reaches the opposite end of its travel, these corks are over the compressors 68 and are driven into the bottles by the plungers. At the same time, a row of corks enters the notches in the bars 38, 39 to be subsequently transferred to the compressors in a similar manner. The compressors are separate from one another and rest loosely in a frame f which is raised automatically after each row of bottles has been corked. When the frame f is again lowered on to the next row of bottles, the compressors, being loose, accommodate themselves to slight variations in size or position of the bottles.

Title: Improvements in Suction-nozzles for Pneumatic Conveyors.
Inventor: REDE JAN VAN
Filed: 1908-12-19
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 27,674. Rede, J. van. Dec. 19. Conveyers.-The current of air drawn in through the suction nozzle of a pneumatic conveyer is divided into two parts, one part being employed to draw the grain into the nozzle, and the other part being led beneath the incoming stream of grain. On the end of the suction tube 3 are mounted concentric cylinders 1, 2, which are adjusted in position by a screw 11 and a nut 12. The cylinder 1 is contracted at the lower end to meet the cylinder 2. Apertures 4 are formed at intervals in the cylinder 1 opposite apertures 17 in the cylinder 2, by which apertures the grain passes into the suction tube 3. Rectangular holes 13 are also formed in the cylinder 2 between the apertures 17. Two sets of air-inlet hole, 5, 6 are formed in the cylinder 1 at the upper end, the size of which can be regulated by a cover 7 having holes 9, 10. The annular space between the cylinders 1, 2 is divided by radial plates 19 in such a manner that the air admitted by the holes 5 passes into the tube 3 through the aperture 17, and that admitted by the holes 6 through the openings 13. The size of the apertures 13, 17 is regulated by a cover 14 attached to a screwed rod and adjusted by a nut 16. With oats and other kinds of grain which offer resistance to the descent of the nozzle by its own weight, the lower end of the cylinder 1 is not tapered off and is quite open at the bottom. The slide 14 is then dispensed with, and the regulation of the streams of air through the apertures 13, 17 is effected by independent covers for the holes 5, 6.
